Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Thorp Arch Conservation Area
What decided it
The first floor side extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area through its design, bulk and massing, which could not be justified by private benefits alone, whereas the single storey front extension would preserve the area's character and appearance.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area caused by the first floor side extension was not outweighed by the private benefit of additional bedroom space, resulting in dismissal of that element; the single storey front extension caused no harm and was allowed.
